[quote=The Silver Bullet]Not back when cinema was being invented, Chris. They would have been thinking, "This thing'll last a few months and trickle out. Like Opium."

"But Opium is rampant!"

"Shutup."[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Yeah...I see what you mean and all, but I can't help but feel that people worry in the same way every single generation.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Oh, man, that is very sad news. Been at work all dat so I didn't find out until I read the shouts. Spike Mulligan was a Prince among men - and a gah-damn funny one too.

S.C. - you may recognize Spike from his cameo in [i]Monty Python's Life of Brian[/i], during the "follow the gourd/shoe" sequence in the middle of the movie.[/quote]

[quote=L .B . Jeffries]Spike was part of the goon show with Peter Sellers and HARRY SECOMBE
